1. Scope: Wi.M.A. Wiese Mediation Agency ( short as Wi.M.A. )
Wi.M.A. Wiese Mediation Agency deals with the mediation of accomodation in hotels, private rooms and apartments. Booking creates a mediation contract between the user and Wi.M.A. A binding contract of mediation arises in that moment when Wi.M.A. accepts your written, telephone, email or personal booking. Thus your booking is binding and our General terms and conditions are valid.
The hotel reservations contract exists directly between the guest and the hotel/apartment owner/landlord.
Wi.M.A. is obliged to pass all the data and information of the reservation between the guest and the hotel/apartment owner/landlord. Contracts for the relevant services are concluded directly between users and the accomodation chosen. All descriptions concerning the hotels/apartments derive from the informations given to Wi.M.A. by the owners. We are only liable for the correct communication of data and the payments. The room price fixed is to be payed in advance against invoice to Wi.M.A.
